Only One Mother
by George Cooper
Hundreds of stars in the pretty sky
Hundreds of shells on the shore together
Hundreds of shells on the shore together
Hundreds of birds that go singing by
Hundreds of bees in the sunny weather.
Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn
Hundreds of lambs in the purple clover
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn
But only one mother the wide world over.
(In memory of Winnie's mom)
